Episode 88: Hotel Transylvania - Lestat Would NEVER

Hotel Transylvania (1978) is the first of 25 novels and two short story collections in Chelsea Quinn Yarbro’s epic vampire series centering around the adventures of the Comte de Saint-Germain. Steeped in the court intrigues of 1740s Paris, Kate and Jack will encounter headstrong virgins, wicked yet incompetent Satanists, and a rather surprising amount of swashbuckling action.

Why didn’t Saint-Germain achieve the same heights of popularity as Anne Rice’s Lestat? How do you handle a bunch of couch-surfing alchemists? What the hell is romantasy, anyway? All these questions and more will be explored in this episode of the podcast.
